It Is no mere extraneous substance
which needs only to be collected for
use; IL is bit OF individual organic
home manufacture. III you examine
the under surface of cell-building
worker you will find beneath the
abdomen four pairs Of white plates
projecting from as many pockets In
the incasing rings of this part OF the
body. These are the wax plates, made
from the life blood of the worker.
Examine now with lens one Of the
hinder legs. You will find that the
stoutest joints are very square shout
dered at the hinge, and that the hinge
is well over TO one side. so that the
shoulders form pair Of jaws, which
open when the limb Is bent, and close
when 1t Is Strengthened. The upper
jaw has a row of spines which bite on
a plate on the lower jaw. With this
apparatus, piercing IL with these
spines, the worker withdraws a wax
plate from its pocket, transfers 1t TO
the front legs, and thence TO the
mouth, where IL is laboriously masti-
Gated with a salvary secretion. Unless
IL undergoes this process 1t lacks the
ductility requisite for cell-making.

An English Girl ON the American
Girl

Madge In London Truth: / i'm
agine that American girls think
more of their dress than we do. but
they make the fatal mistake Of "dress-
ing-up." Imean that they are dowdies
at one time and deliberately gotten up
at others. They do not show so well
mt breakfast, for instance, as an Eng
lIsh girl does. There is certain want
Of finish about the coiffure-and, In
deed, the general outline OF their
figures. A really pretty English girl
never looks more charming than when
she appears In the morning, fresh
from the toilet Her American cousin
is limp at breakfast, and imparts no
idea OF freshness 20 the beholder.
But then, when she is attired for the
promenade, she Is smarter and better
thought out than are any Of us, as a
rule.

A very interesting engineering job
is in progress at the New England rail.
road bridge over the Connecticut just
north of Hartford, The new steel
bridge is to stand exactly where the
old wooden one Is and the problem to
most people was how the job was to
be done without interfering with
trains. First the transportation CON-
pany sent tug and pile driver to the
spot and drove a lot Of big piles; those
under the eastern span going thirty
feet into the river bed and being fifty
feet long. Above these piles tempo
rary work was built TO support the
track which was built up higher than
IL used TO be. Then the trusses of the
old bridge were removed in sections
and the old roadway remained. held up
by the piles and temporary work. IL
had been raised enough TO leave a
space where IL used TO be, and here
the roadway Of the steel bridge Is be-
ing put In. Thus the steel bridge Is
built right in the place Of the wooden
one. and when IL is done all that re-
mains will be TO remove the elevated
wooden track bed and let the trains
run on the new bridge. The steel
bridge will rest temporarily on the
piling till its trusses are In place.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Postoffice
Inspector Sidney S. Hartshorn, who
has been connected with the New York
postofice for some months, was re-
moved yesterday. He was for several
years in the Boston division of the
secret service Of the postal department.
On Tuesday United States Commits:
sioner Hallett of Boston began an ex-
animation of James II. Kane for
using the mails with intention to de-
fraud. Kane was supposed to be the
head of a company known as the Mas
sachusetts Watch Company, which adj
yertised their watch extensively at 81.
Thousands of dollars were received by
Kane, who is said to have sent back in
each case, q sun dial. The money re-
ceived was turned oyer to a Boston
lawyer named Giles Fl. Rich. Both
Kane and Rich were arrested by the
postal authorities. Kane claimed that he
was an employee of Rich. Rich asserted
that the money was turned over to
him TO forward to the head of the con-
Germ in this city. r. L. Spence, Wal
lingfOrd, Connecticut, was the patentee
of the dial. at the conclusion of the
hearing Inspector Hartshorn and
Spence were arrested. 1t is charged
that Hartshorn is the head of the COM
pany in this city, and
be received the money. On
account of the arrest and
charges preferred he was removed.
Hartshorn's friends refuse to credit the
charge. He claims that it is a conspir-
acy and that he will prove his limo
cence. His record is good and he has
been instrumental in unearthing the
Victor Watch Company and the Brit
iSh American Claim Agency. His
brother officers doubt the truth of the
charge

CHICAGO, March 19.-Since the Hay
market affair Capt. Setback has spent
a good deal of time in chasing down
rumors about the whereabouts of Ru-
dolph Schnaubelt, the bomb thrower.
Schnaubelt is brother OF Mrs. Michael
Schwab, and to her, one day about the
middle of February, he wrote from
Munich, Bavaria, that he was on his
way to Wein-Newstrdt in Austria
A hint of this correspondence
escaped. but in the rumor that was
merely Neuestadt and before it reached
Captain Setback it became Neueburg
and then Newburg, which again,
through some leak, gave currency to
the report that Schnaubelt had been
located at Newburg, New York. The
captain finally struck the truth, but
before Schaack's communication to the
authorities had reached Wein-Neue-
stadt, however, Schnaubelt was up and
away, leaving no trace behind. \ re-
Spouse to that effect reached the cap
tain this week.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Sheriff Grant
has seized the place Of business Of Wal
ter E. Lawton, 81 Broadway, who did
business under the firm name Lawton
Bros. as fertilizers, under attachments
on creditors claims amounting to
e245, 900. 1t is charged that LaWton has
absconded to defraud his creditors and
and that he has disposed Of his proper
ty and taken a large amount Of money
with him. Lawton was q director In
the Delta OZOtine company and WAS
entrusted with Sl00,OOO in notes to dis
count for the company. On March Is
Lawton is said to have absconded with
the proceeds of the discounted notes.
The disappearance OF Lawton has ere
ated q great deal of apprehension and
il is generally believed he is bankrupt.
He left his Office on Tuesday afternoon
as usual to go home and has not been
seen since. The amount of his liabili-
ties is estimated at about 81 ,0O0, 900.
Rufus I. Kirkland, Lawton's cashier,
states that on Tuesday LawtOn with
drew all his funds from the different
banks in which he deposited and took
the money with him. Lawton de-
stroyed all stubs, checks and papers Of
every kind, from which any informa-
ton could be secured as to the disposi-
ton of his funds and property. Joseph
ID. Jones placed in Lawton's care
Tuesday, on behalf OF the company,
$l2, 600, and this is also gone. Kirk
land states that on Tuesday he had an
interview with Lawton at Broadway
and Wall streets, and that Lawton re-
quested him to go with him to the OIL
GERS of the Third National bank and
introduce him. This he did. Lawton
also asked him to obtain a blank war
ranty deed for the conveyance of rea !
estate in New Jersey and to meet him at
the New York hotel. He met Lawton
there with the blank deed and both
went to the Grand Central depot.
Lawton told Kirkland he intended to
leave the city by the first train and
that he had drawn out all his money
on deposit; that he was ruined;
that he did not know what
to do, and that he would probably COM
NIT suicide. A second attachment was
issued at the instance of the Chemical
Ammoniate and Oil company. The
company delivered to Lawton prom
issory notes of the value of 9120, 600, in
trust, to discount and hold the pro-
ceeds for the company's benefit In
addition he received 81, 900 in money.
He discounted the notes, kept the pro-
ceeds, and also retained the money and
converted it to his own use.

PTrTsBURG, March 17.-For some
time past the Green Bottle Blowers
District Assembly of the Knights of
Labor and the Trades Assembly of
This place have had joint committee
engaged in an effort to stop the refill
ing OF Apollinaris bottles with beer and
other drinks. The committee has
been hard at work among Pitts
burg bottlers and it has been
found that some of the firms have large
| stocks of these bottles stored up. They
are Of foreign make and the wOrkmen
| are trying to drive them ont of the
American trade. All the Pittsburp
firms express their readiness to favor
home protection in buying bottles, but
some Of the largest bottling houses in
1 the country are 10th to do away with
the cheaper article. If they persist in
using the foreign bottles, it is said, q
boycott will be placed upon them BY
the knights Of Labor.

the FOr<st am Disaster,

NEW YORK, March l6.-The En-
gineer News, having thoroughly in
vestigated the Forest Hill disaster on
the Boston Il Providence Railroad, will
publish the following in regard to it in
this week issue: The cause of this
dreadful catastrophe has been very OBJ
scure in the newspaper accounUs;- the
only certain thing having been that the
bridge was a sort of patchwork monde
script, which violated several of the
most important and fundamental re-
quirements of good bridge designing.
We are now fortunately able to shed
far more light on what the precise
cause was than has heretofore ap-
peared, from the fact that we have
now in our office what will probably be
the most important bit of
evidence in that investigation
viz: the two original parts
which in all human probability were
the first to break. These parts are in
the possession of Henry w. Pritchard,
civil engineer, a practical bridge en-
gineer, of Philadelphia, who undertook
to critically examine the structure on
behalf of the Journal, which. in con
nection with further infor
cred for us within an hour or two afteI
the accident occurred, by Mr.. Frederick
Brooks, civil engineer, of Boston, maN
be said to be absolutely conclusive as 4
the real difficulty, since it is impossible,
that there should have been more de
fective parts in the bridge if it was t.
stand up. The parts which first brok
were the two hangers. which carrie,
the last or mostOeasterly part of tn
northerly or last built truss-the trus
which Irried all the load. So far a

very bad design and most imperfect

are both of them very badly fiawed b
old and deeply rusted breaks at tn
most strained section, there being tw
distinct breaks of this kind to eac
specimen. The first hanger has bot
breaks across the weld, the frs

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS WARNED OFF.
A number of suspicious looking men
have lately been making frequent visits
to the money vaults of the Treasury
Department during the hours allowed
for public inspection. Such of them as
called to-day were notified that they
must not come again, and the officers
in charge of the vault had been in
structed to keep a sharp lookout on
visitors in the future.
THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.
The acting Secretary of the Treasury
of. colleges involving the question as to
whether Congress. in the act entitled
''An act to establish agricultural ex
detrimental stations in connection with
| colleges etc. made an appropria-
| ton to carry it into effect. The ques-
| ton was referred to the First Comp
/ troller and he has given an opinion that
Z
vided for in Section 5 of the Act which
| reads as follows: THAT for the purpose
| of paving the necessary expenses OF
conducting investigations and expert
mentS and printing and distributing
results as herein before prescribed, the
sum of $I5, 900 per annum is hereby ap-
propriated to each State to be specially
provided for by Congress in the appro-
priatiOns from year to year and TO each
Territory entitled under the provisions
of section of this act out of any
money in the Treasury proceeding from
the sales of public lands, to be paid in
equal quarterly payments on the first
day of January, April, July and DC
tober in each year, to the Treasurer OF
other officer duly appointed by the gov
erning boards Of said colleges to
receive the same, the first payment to
be made on the first day of October,
1887, provided, however that out OF
the first annual appropriation so re-
ceived by any station an amount not
exceeding one-ffth may be expended
by the erection. enlargement or repair
of building or buildings necessary FOR
carrying on the work Of such station
and thereafter an amount not exceed.
ing per cent of such annual apprO-
priation may be expended. The comp
troller says this act, if possible. must
be construed so as to make the
whole harmonious and ineligible
l suggest that if it was intended by tbs
, language above quoted, to make an ap
preparation, such appropriation-and the
,, words ito be specially provided for
by Congress in the appropriations from
. year to year" are superfiuous. 1t is N.
! opinion that Congress only intended b,
|. the expression. that the sum of SIS ,00t
per annum is hereby appropriated Il
each state to fix the amount that couli
{ be specially provided by Congress il
I | appropriations from year to year
: Hence, concluded that section doe
! not make the appropriation, but tina
the amount must be specially provides
